Have you finished your article only to discover that a suitable journal’s submission window has closed? Have you found an interesting conference after the abstract deadline? Preparing academic work also means planning where and when to submit it. AzPublish.az brings journal and conference information together to help you organise this stage.
Whether you are a master’s student, doctoral researcher, lecturer or other researcher, start reviewing publication opportunities early. Register with AzPublish, choose relevant listings and set a deadline reminder. A planned search gives you time to revise your text, check references and prepare submission documents instead of rushing on the final day.
How can AzPublish support your academic search?
You can review journal and conference cards, compare relevant options and follow the link to the official submission page. The AAK label, subject field and other selections help narrow an initial list. Seeing the days remaining makes approaching deadlines easier to notice.
Turn a shortlist into a publication plan
Collecting interesting journal names is only a starting point. Consider both the fit of each option and the time available to prepare your work. A theoretical article and an empirical study may involve different stages of preparation. Identifying a primary option and an alternative can make the decision process clearer.
Three questions for your initial selection
- Does the journal or conference cover the subject of my research?
- Can I prepare the required files and revisions in time?
- Do submission, review and publication stages fit my working schedule?
How can master’s and doctoral students find AAK journals?
Use the AAK(Azərbaycan) filter to find journals carrying this label on AzPublish. Then review their relevance to your field and article topic. AAK refers to Azerbaijan’s Higher Attestation Commission; assess the options alongside the requirements of your own institution and programme.
Assess subject fit separately
A journal’s title may represent a broad discipline while its editorial scope is more specific. Compare your research question, method and intended audience with that scope. Reading recent issues can help you understand the discussion to which your article could contribute.
Consult the official list before deciding
The AAK label is a search aid. Compare the journal’s current status and subject coverage with official AAK information. Clarify your publication requirements with your supervisor and institution. View official AAK information on periodical scientific publications →
How do you set a deadline reminder?
Create an account using an email address you actively check. Open the “Xatırlat” reminder option on a relevant listing and complete the on-screen instructions. AzPublish’s reminder system is designed to send an email three days before the deadline.
Registration and reminders are separate steps
After registering, set a reminder for the particular listing you want to follow. Selecting one journal does not automatically apply the choice to every journal. Check the email address and listing carefully so that you are following the intended opportunity.
What should you do when a reminder arrives?
Check your inbox and spam folder. When a notification arrives, open the official announcement, confirm whether the date has changed and review the prepared files. Set an earlier internal submission date in your own calendar and use the reminder as additional support for that plan.
Which conference dates should you distinguish?
The event date is different from the abstract submission deadline. Acceptance notifications, full-paper submissions and participant registration may also have separate schedules. Establish which stage you are applying for before preparing your submission.
Plan your preparation before attending
For an abstract, identify the topic, main finding and contribution concisely. Allow time to prepare a presentation, coordinate with co-authors and arrange travel when needed. If several events interest you, assess scientific fit and your available time together.
A short checklist for submission day
- The final title, author details and abstract are ready.
- The file’s language, format and name follow the organiser’s instructions.
- The submission acknowledgement and correspondence are saved separately.
A weekly publication plan for postgraduate researchers
Set aside time once a week to review selected announcements. Record the stage of your manuscript: initial draft, editing, co-author feedback or final formatting. This can help you monitor publication options alongside your dissertation work.
Give yourself small tasks: read the author guidelines of two journals this week, finalise the abstract next week and gather supporting documents afterwards. Having most of the work ready before the deadline approaches reduces pressure at the final stage.
It is also useful to distinguish a target from a commitment. A journal on your shortlist is an option under consideration. Only after reading its instructions and confirming the fit should it become part of your active submission schedule. Keep notes on what still needs to be checked so that each review of your list leads to a concrete next step.
Frequently asked questions
Does AzPublish accept articles on behalf of journals?
The platform helps you find journals and conferences and follow their announcements. The relevant editorial office or organiser makes decisions on scientific review, acceptance and publication.
Does setting a reminder guarantee an on-time submission?
A reminder supports planning. Preparing and submitting documents remain under the author’s control. Check the official page and avoid leaving submission until the last day.
How long will publication take?
A submission deadline is not a publication date. Ask the editorial office about review, revision and publication schedules. Do not base your dissertation timeline solely on the submission window.
